This machine was sold off on the 31/07/85 at the last military auction to sell off the last of the Army's stock of WD B40's at Monchengladbach. This machine was lot 52 at this auction
Civilian History: I acquired it on the 28/12/15 from Germany, with the engine requiring some work and replacing some parts which had been robbed off it The engine has been through Rupert Ratio's (Dave Smiths) hands (2016) and rebuilt by him and is now fitted. Bike is up and running but requires some fettling which is to be expected and will require re-commissioning either ride and improve or restore great patina with difficult to find parts, sump plate, battery cover and fully enclosed chain case etc Bike is now fully registered and has a V5c
